Which is better, ECE in Pondicherry Engineering College or Biotech in Sastra?

It depends on where you want to live and study. If you are comfortable staying in Pondicherry and are interested in ECE, go with PEC, which is one of India's oldest institutes. On the other hand, SASTRA University is a more recent private prestigious university and it has great infrastructure facilities and placement record. BioTech in Sastra has IT placements with a lot of companies whereas ECE in PEC has good placement but is not that great. The table shows a brief overview of the institution: Particulars PEC SASTRA Highest CTC 10 LPA 28.3 LPA Average CTC 4 LPA 9.3 LPA Fees 3.77 LPA 6.20 LPA You can opt for PEC as its fee is lower than SASTRA.

SASTRA Review

The fee structure was 800000 for whole 4 years. For each year it will be around 200000(including the exam fee, sem fee, lab fee, breakage due). There is no referal in this college if you have scored above 60% and secured a good score in JEE main you will be eligible for the college.

Sastraite life

It is not dependent on any branch but you can move from one branch to another also if you have high CGPA. I am 2023 passed out.so the fees may be somewhat vary. Coming to the fees structure 1st year 1,45000+(books+maintenance charges+Library+extra cultural activities) 2nd year-155500+(labfees+examfees extra per sem=2000) 3rd year-165000+(labfees+exam fees extra per sem cost around=2000) 4th year -175000+(labfees+exam fees extra) It is basically a merit based college based on our 12th marks and JEE mains but it will give 100% placement and the faculty is also very knowledgeable In my opinion one of the finest college and cost friendly college
